    Remember, the who's the greater post on the lounge. Now, here is a new one. I love the I.T. field, especially software development, but which area of the I.T. field do we have more people involved than ever. Is it in Computer Programming, Network Administration, System Administration, Database Administration or what and what. If a newbie enters this field, from experience where would you tell him to go? Be frank on this. I recommend Software Development, cos it is based on a high level of thinking, I am not saying the others don't require it, but not very much. But nevertheless, not all companies require developers, so other areas do count. Thanks

              My view is if you have studied Managment/have slight inclination towards managment then go for Managment in IT Go for Software Development only if you feel programming is the thing you love The programming work you do depends on the company in which you work untill you are an expert & can have selection of job :-)

                    Business Analyst, every time I speak to someone they're a Business Analyst. Actually I'm on a career path at work towards a Business Analyst (or so is what my yearly review told me :doh: )

                    Run...RUN FAST WHILE YOU CAN!!!! ;P Just kidding, I'd tell them to really think about what they have a passion for and go with it. There are some individuals who graduated with me into an IT career and hate programming. For example, QA is a position that has potential, however I did it for 4 months and I will say "NEVER AGAIN" as a full-time position. I believe fast food workers are more mentally challenged.... Stupid checklist.:wtf:

                      This is my big push. There are those who choose their careers because it is where the money is, there are those who choose their career because it has a shorter training/education cycle. But, ultimately, if you didn't choose your career, even a specialist portion, because you enjoy it, you will spend more time being miserable. You sleep 1/3 of your life away, and work another nearly another 1/3 of your life. Supposedly there is a personal 1/3 plus in there somewhere also. Everyone focuses on being happy for the personal 1/3, and maybe getting a quality sleep for that 1/3, then I guess it is supposedly "okay" to be miserable for the 1/3 minus that is work. I say choose your career path, including specialties because you enjoy it. There are ways to find some give-and-take in choices. I love art, I was forbidden from choosing any art related career because of family. Now I am successful only because I snuck it in spite of parental decisions: programming plus art == 3D graphics.

                          Frank says, do what you want to do. :) Frank also says, do what has not been done when ever possible. Shouldn't you want to go where careers are NOT overpopulated? ;)

                          so just by high level thinking you ruled out ... say ... rocket science? because it does not have as high level of thought processes as software development? telepresence remote control engineering because it is simpler than developing an SQL query? Cosmology and physics because it does not have the same critical thinking as development of a GUI. :) certainly encourage high level thought, but many career paths require high level thought. Lawyers and doctors are not idiots compared to software engineers. Nor are mechanical systems engineers, computer engineers, and many other career choices. Do it because you enjoy it, because you want to do it, not because someone else says you will look smarter if you choose that career. All of us are actually here because of the groupies. Software development has lots of groupies! :laugh:

                            If a newbie enters this field, from experience where would you tell him to go?

                            Frank says, do what you want to do. :) Frank also says, do what has not been done when ever possible. Shouldn't you want to go where careers are NOT overpopulated? ;)

                            so just by high level thinking you ruled out ... say ... rocket science? because it does not have as high level of thought processes as software development? telepresence remote control engineering because it is simpler than developing an SQL query? Cosmology and physics because it does not have the same critical thinking as development of a GUI. :) certainly encourage high level thought, but many career paths require high level thought. Lawyers and doctors are not idiots compared to software engineers. Nor are mechanical systems engineers, computer engineers, and many other career choices. Do it because you enjoy it, because you want to do it, not because someone else says you will look smarter if you choose that career. All of us are actually here because of the groupies. Software development has lots of groupies! :laugh:

                            Well, you have a great point, Sir, but I was specifically referring the Computer Science/I.T. field not any other field in question.:):):) I really admire those guys in physics especially the electical/electronic engineers, but I was specifically referring to I.T.
